Chapter 155 Persuading Aunt Sun to Beg for the Moon
"Well, Aunt Sun, I won't beat around the bush. I just want to ask you, what are your plans for Feng'er's future?"
Aunt Sun smiled very gently, "I have no other extravagant wishes. I just want Feng'er to get good results in next year's exam. Then I will be truly satisfied."
"Aunt Sun, have you ever thought about it? Now Feng'er is my only son." Zhao Keran stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "I believe you are also very clear about this. I have never
I didn’t hide it from you. Then, Feng’er will inherit everything dad has in the future, have you ever thought about this?”
Hearing Zhao Keran suddenly mention this issue, Aunt Sun was stunned. She smiled bitterly and said, "Miss, to be honest, I know everything you said, but I have never considered this."
Question. You also know that Madam is so strong, how can I dare to think about such long-term things!"
Looking at Aunt Sun's appearance, Zhao Keran continued, "Aunt Sun, you must also know very well that I have been selected as Princess Xu, and Keren has also been selected as the crown prince's concubine, so even if my mother
Even without a son, her status in this family is already as stable as Mount Tai. No one can shake her status anymore. So, Aunt Sun, have you made any plans for your own future?
?”
"Miss, what do you mean?" Aunt Sun was puzzled, "Planning for yourself?"
"That's right," Zhao Keran smiled and continued, "Not only you, but also Feng'er, the future of the two of you. Aunt Sun, you were originally a lady from an official family, but you only married because your family was in ruins.
My father is my concubine. Are you willing to stay like this for the rest of your life?"
"What else can I do if I don't look like this?" Aunt Sun smiled faintly, "As you can tell, Madam's position is now unbreakable, so what can I do? I don't ask for anything else now, I just hope that my
It would be great if Feng'er can grow up safely and become successful. As for other things, I don't want to think about it anymore."
"Really?" Zhao Keran smiled faintly, "Aunt Sun, you know very well how clear the distinction between concubines and concubines is in this era. Just like this concubine selection banquet, only me and Keren can do it in the family.
We went to participate because we are legitimate daughters, but Zhao Lin and Zhao Mei did not have such an opportunity. This shows how important it is to be legitimate or concubine. Although Feng'er is his only son now, he will definitely succeed him in the future.
Everything. But, have you ever thought that even if he inherits everything from his father in the future, his status as a bastard will be like a brand that can never be erased."
"Miss, I know everything you said, but what can I do?" Listening to Zhao Keran's words, Aunt Sun couldn't help but shed tears, "I know everything you said, but
, if you want Feng'er to become your legitimate son, you can only adopt Feng'er under your wife's name, but he is my lifeblood! I really can't bear to part with him."
Seeing Aunt Sun's sad look, Zhao Keran sighed helplessly and said, "Aunt Sun, actually, you don't have to be too pessimistic. If you really have plans for Feng'er's future, I have a plan.
There is no need to adopt Feng'er to my mother, but at the same time, I can make Feng'er his legitimate son."
"What?" After hearing what Zhao Keran said, Aunt Sun suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhao Keran in surprise, "Really? Miss, do you really have any idea?"
Zhao Keran nodded firmly, "But, Aunt Sun, this matter still requires your cooperation."
"As long as I can make Feng'er his legitimate son, I will do anything."
Aunt Sun saw very clearly that in this society, the distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines was so clear, as long as they were concubines, they were inferior to others. From this concubine selection banquet, she still saw many problems. In fact,
There are many women with both ability and political integrity in the capital, but because they are concubines, they are denied such a good opportunity, but there is nothing they can do about it. Therefore, even if she does not want to fight, she does not want to fight for herself.
His son became like that, just like what the eldest lady said, even if Feng'er is the master's only son, it is fine, but he is still a bastard. As long as he is a bastard, he is destined to be inferior to others.
Seeing Aunt Sun's eager look, Zhao Keran smiled mysteriously, "Actually, the method is very simple. If you want Feng'er's identity to change, then all you need to do is change your identity."
"My identity has changed?" Aunt Sun felt very puzzled, but after thinking about it carefully, she was shocked, "Miss, do you mean -"
"That's right." Zhao Keran said with a smile, "The thing is actually very simple. I believe you have thought of it. That is, you just need to become an equal wife."
"What!" Although she had probably guessed it, Aunt Sun was still very surprised when she actually heard it. "Miss, do you know what you are talking about? Is this kind of thing allowed to be said casually?"
Seeing Aunt Sun's surprised look, Zhao Keran was very calm, "Aunt Sun, why are you so surprised? You have to know that your brother is now the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and his official position is only second to the Minister. With that
With your current status, it is not difficult to become a official wife. If your family had not been in decline, you would never have to marry your father as a concubine. Your current status is different from the past.
Moreover, you gave birth to my only son, so if you want to become an equal wife, you are absolutely qualified."
"But -" Aunt Sun was still very hesitant, "Madam's identity is there, she will not agree. I have lived a normal life for so many years, if I propose to be an equal wife at this time, Madam
You will never let me go easily."
"Aunt Sun, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Feng'er!" Zhao Keran continued to persuade, "Look at Feng'er who is so outstanding, you don't want him to live his whole life as a bastard, right?
! Also, you have to know, if Feng'er is a bastard, will he be able to find a daughter from a good family if he wants to marry and have children in the future? Have you ever thought about these things? "
Listening to Zhao Keran's words, Aunt Sun was very hesitant in her heart. She knew that the eldest lady was right, but she had kept a low profile for so many years. If she wanted to be an equal wife now, how would the lady react?
Also, will she take the opportunity to deal with Feng'er? These things must be considered by herself. Moreover, if this matter is brought up, there will be no room for regrets. When the time comes, it will inevitably happen in this family.
There was a storm inside. Sun Niang's corner was full.
Seeing Aunt Sun's hesitation, Zhao Keran naturally knew her worries. However, this matter was absolutely imperative. No matter for everyone's sake, this matter must continue.
After Zhao Keran thought about it, he continued to persuade, "Aunt Sun, I know all your worries, but if you keep doing this, what can you bring to Feng'er? As a mother, you are strong, even if you don't do it
You yourself, you have to think about Feng'er, he has grown up gradually, do you really have the heart to let Feng'er always be inferior to others like this?"
Aunt Sun feels very conflicted now. She doesn't want to stir up any more troubles now, but the eldest lady is right. Even if it's for Feng'er's sake, she really should fight for it. Otherwise, Feng'er's future
I'm afraid the road will be difficult to walk.
Seeing that Aunt Sun was deep in thought, Zhao Keran didn't say anything more. Some things would be useless if the person involved didn't figure it out by himself. Since he had already said so much, if Aunt Sun still
If you can't figure it out, then no matter what you do, it will be useless.
After a while, Aunt Sun finally raised her head and looked at Zhao Keran, "Miss, you are right, even if it is for Feng'er's sake, I have to fight for it."
After hearing what Aunt Sun said, Zhao Keran smiled brightly and said, "Aunt Sun, if you can think so, that's really great."
"But, Miss, what should we do about this matter?" Aunt Sun was a little worried, "We can't just raise this point rashly! If we go directly to the master now and ask him to
If I propose that we become equal wives, he won't agree, and besides, it's not easy for the madam to pass the test!"
"Aunt Sun, don't worry about this. Since I dare to bring it up, I already have a solution." Regarding the problem raised by Aunt Sun, Zhao Keran was not worried at all, "I will find a suitable opportunity to talk to my father."
I mentioned it, and I am very confident that dad will definitely agree. So Aunt Sun, you don’t need to do anything for the time being. If I mention it then, you can just come out and say a few words."
Seeing Zhao Keran's confident look, Aunt Sun felt puzzled, "Miss, how can you be sure that the master will agree? You know, proposing a wife is not a trivial matter, especially when the wife's mother's family is so powerful.
You are so big, I will always be a little scrupulous about it."
"Yes, it is indeed like this." Zhao Keran smiled slightly, "Dad is indeed wary of the power of the Duke of Qin. But, you have to know that in his heart, the title is the most important. Now Keren and I are here
He was selected at the concubine selection banquet, which invisibly gave him some protection. However, compared to his second uncle, his father still had a fatal weakness, and that was heirs. Although both his father and his second uncle had
Each has a son, but the second uncle’s son is a legitimate son, while Feng’er is just a concubine. Even if I don’t tell you the difference between legitimate concubine and concubine, you should understand the stakes involved.” 13acv.
"But the old Marquis likes Feng'er very much!" Aunt Sun asked, "In this case, even if Feng'er is a bastard, what does it matter?"
"You don't understand this." Zhao Keran smiled and shook his head, "Aunt Sun, a legitimate son is a legitimate son, and a common son is a common son. No one can blur this point. Zhao Keli is the second uncle's legitimate son, although Feng'er is very
I have won my grandfather's favor, but even so, in my grandfather's heart, Feng'er is still not as good as Zhao Keli. I know this, and dad naturally knows it too."
"Miss, what do you mean-" Aunt Sun looked at Zhao Keran doubtfully.
Zhao Keran smiled, "Actually, Feng'er is dad's only son, and the most important thing is that Feng'er is indeed very smart and will never be unknown in the future. Because he has Feng'er as his son, dad is very proud. But,
Feng'er's identity has always been a thorn in his heart. Especially in the competition for the throne, if there is no legitimate son, it will be very disadvantageous. Dad has always wanted Feng'er to become his legitimate son, but he suffers from the lack of it.
It’s just a way.”
"Hasn't Master ever thought about adopting Feng'er into the name of Madam?"
Aunt Sun was puzzled by this. Although she really didn't want to lose her son, this was indeed a good idea. Has the master never thought of this idea?
"How do you know dad didn't mention it?" Zhao Keran asked funnyly.
"What!" Aunt Sun was shocked, and even felt very scared in her heart. It turned out that she had almost lost Feng'er.
"Yes." Zhao Keran replied with a smile, "Maybe you don't know about this! But it's probably just a coincidence! You should also remember that when Feng'er was born, Keren's health was very bad
.At that time, all my mother's thoughts had been devoted to Zhao Keren, so she would never agree. Later, when Feng'er gradually grew up, it was even more impossible for her mother to agree. If she had raised Feng'er from childhood to adulthood,
If so, that’s okay. But if I met you halfway, how could my mother agree?"
After hearing what Zhao Keran said, Aunt Sun felt very lucky. Fortunately, her favor was not taken away in the first place.
Looking at Aunt Sun, Zhao Keran smiled and said, "Aunt Sun, don't worry now, I won't let Feng'er leave your side. You don't need to do anything now. As for the issue of equal wives, I will find out
Chance told dad. When the time comes, you must not back down."
"Miss, don't worry." Aunt Sun said very firmly, "For my Feng'er, I will never give in."
Looking at Aunt Sun's appearance, Zhao Keran nodded with great satisfaction.
The afternoon wind blew slowly, bringing refreshing waves. Aunt Sun and Zhao Keran were sitting in the garden sipping tea, looking very comfortable. However, it was unclear whether their moods were as calm as they appeared on the surface.
